Contest Title: One Liner Life Mantra Contest
Who May Join: Any Steemian with Reputation 50 and below
How Long the Contest Runs: (7 days) from now until the deadline: Midnight of Feb. 23, 2018 (Philippine Time)
How to Join:
This is my first contest ever, I am also new here and needs a boost but I would love to help my fellow red fishes, this is experimental but I hope this works...
- Follow me.
- Upvote this post.
- Resteem this post so more red fishes will know and join.
- Write a post about your one-liner life mantra. An example of a one liner life mantra is, "It's never too late for anything." I personally love that line and say it to myself quite often because that's what you do with a mantra, you repeat it to yourself to have a positive effect on you, to inspire you, motivate you, encourage you, something that leads you to live a positive outlook in life. Write the one liner life mantra first then tell us how you use this mantra, how it has helped you in your life and everything you can share about this belief of yours. Please take note, that it should be a "one liner" or just a sentence for the theme then support it with a paragraph or paragraphs stating your story on how this one-liner impacts your life. Please send an original work, do not plagiarize.
- Include a photo that is relevant to your post, it can be your own photo but you can also use free stock photos online (example: Pixabay). Use proper citation of photo sources if they are not yours. Please do not violate copyrights.
- Refer a fellow redfish to join the contest and mention them in your post.
- Leave the link to your post as a comment to this post so I will know you have an entry.
- Use "lifemantra" as the first tag for your post.
Prizes:
1st prize = 3 SBDs
2nd prize = 2 SBDs
3rd prize = 1 SBD
Consolation Prizes will be given to everyone who will join but the amount will vary on how much this post will earn, mainly because the prizes for them will be taken from here. It's guaranteed that there will be no losers! If the post earns more, it will be my discretion how much percentage of the full payout will be allocated to the non-winning contestants, but they will be getting less than the prizes of the winners, definitely.
The Respectable Judge: The judge will be my good Steemit friend @cadawg.
Criteria for Judging: Overall, if the instructions above are followed, the clarity of the author in presenting his or her piece and added to that is the impact of the photo to what he/she is trying to present.
Why am I making this contest?
Primarily, I want to help my fellow red fishes. I want to help them come up with a good post about life and to share a positive belief that they have to everyone that will help others in their self-improvement. I want new Steemians to be able to make a post that is simply focused in one thing and to encourage them to use a relevant image in their post and see how it impacts presentation. Basically, it's all about the basics, as we are all starting and since this is my first contest. I want the contestants to make a minimalist post but it sends a very powerful message for others. I want them to dig inside them and reflect on some things that move them positively and share it to everyone in Steemit. I believe Steemit is all about connecting to our human, like what our mentor @surpassinggoogle always say. This is my own little way of doing it. Let's mine our minds, look into ourselves and share positivity, inform others and thus make the world a better place. This is my first time to host a contest, thus this is experimental. I really hope newbies who qualify will join and enjoy making their pieces.
Tip for Newbies: Joining contests is one of the best ways to earn in Steemit. I know it's kinda common sense but we can overlook that sometimes. Please support this contest and may you all make contests for our fellow red fishes, too, in the future. Keep Steemin'!
Please support @surpassinggoogle as a witness by voting him here and type in "steemgigs" in the first search box.
If you want to give him witness voting decisions on your behalf, on that same page type in "surpassinggoogle" in the second box as a proxy.
Support his other brainchild projects like #untalented, #steemgigs and #teardrops. Thank you!
This is a cool contest, I like the positivity! Ok here's my entry.
https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@vdux/my-life-mantra-sometimes-you-need-to-throw-your-hat
Also, I'm about to start a contest of my own. Any tips???
@vdux, you are the second to submit and I am glad you find my contest cool. I upvoted the entries submitted on day 1 and that includes yours. I'm your follower now, I'll see you around Steemit! Thanks for the support.
For a tip, you need to be detailed about the mechanics, the criteria, the prize, who judges the contest, when is the exact deadline (best if you can set the time in UTC for international community to have a clear picture when it is exactly). This is just me, but I think a contest is enjoyable if there are no losers. No matter how little, I want to give consolation prizes to the contestants, even if it's just 0.01 SBD. Anyway if there are 100 non-winning entries, 0.01x100 is just 1 SBD. I want it that way because I want to tell everyone that there is a big difference between a cent and nothing. I love earning cents. And in Steemit, there are cents and dollars everyday if you just keep Steemin'! ;-) Best of luck with your own contest, please do it for the red fishes, too. Thank you.
Oh, yes, I want to keep it open and accessible for everybody. But also known to everybody! Do you use anything to promote your posts?
No, I don't. But I have a team behind me, it's called Steemit Achievers and surpassinggoogle helped resteem my post and he has a lot of followers. Also, I made it part of the mechanics for contestants to resteem my post and refer a fellow in their post for it to be known. Just simple, organic ways for exposure.
Thank you for the advice. I posted my contest! Here's the link https://steemit.com/contest/@vdux/contest-win-2-sbd-free-upvotes-and-more-for-writing-17-syllables
That is awesome! Now I want you to know a good Steemit friend named @moneyinfant. Please ask him/her to add your contest to his compilation of contests like he/she did to mine. It will give more exposure to your contest. Here is his/her link: https://steemit.com/contest/@moneyinfant/steemit-writing-contests-issue-24-february-18-2018
@vdux reached out and the haiku contest will be in tomorrow's issue.
Looks like @cadawg is very busy with the judging here!
And for future reference it's him/his :))
Round up of my first reviews of posts:
If you posted your post and commented before the time this one was published, leave a comment on this with a link to your post so I can find and review it.
All The Best & Thanks for keeping me busy!
~ @cadawg

Hi, it's your judge @cadawg, reporting for duty! Can't wait to see these entries!
Ahahahaha! Remind me that I owe you for this one, later. I know it won't be easy to judge contests. Thank you for your support always.
Oh, no problem. Glad to be of some assistance. Keep it up & I will judge it as best as I can.
Have a nice day & keep steeming on!
Hahahahaha
I feel akward being the first but hey someone has to be;
Here is my entry.
https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@gjoeohere/my-single-line-mantra-life-s-too-short-89e7d29e5558a
You are awesome to be the one to do it first. Thank you @gjoeohere for the support. I'm a follower now. Best of luck with the contest.

Cool first contest good luck
Thank you, @afkar86!
Yes good job anyone can well support @steemgigs
Yep, I'm all in for steemgigs too!
@moneyinfant has added your contest to the list Steemit Writing Contests: Issue #21. The list is updated on a daily basis and your contest will remain on the list until its expiration - there's nothing you need to do.
The list was created to save writers the excessive amount of time spent searching through the #contest tag for writing contests. Now they can just come to the list each day, see new contests and use their time doing what they love - writing.
If you'd like to help spread the word about the Steemit Writing Contest List I'd really appreciate a resteem, but it certainly isn't necessary. The project is simply meant to help writers save time and contest creators attract more contestants.
P.S. If you know of any contests I've missed I'd love to hear about them. Thanks!
Thank you, I appreciate this. I feel honored. I'm a follower now and I'll see more from you in Steemit!
It's my pleasure. I'll see you around for sure.
Hi @mermaidvampire @cadawg, the idea of your contest is very positive so here`s my entry https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@wondersofnature/my-life-mantra-money-comes-to-me-easily-and-frequently
Thanks for joining @wondersofnature. I love your positive outlook about money. I do have the same mantra, I always think that money just comes around. I live a very expensive life because I have a chronic illness and on dialysis, it's hard but money just comes around. Money is essential, but do not focus on that fact, keep doing work and enjoying your life and keep a balance on how you will have money revolve around you. Thanks for sharing with us your thoughts on money. I'll see you around Steemit.
You will be healed, in Jesus name! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. It's an honor for me to be part of your contest. God bless you more!

Hi @mermaidvampire,
How do you do?

https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@samal/one-liner-life-mantra-always-keep-it-simple
I find this interesting to participate and I must commend you for soft heart you have towards supporting the red fishes.
Thank you @samal. You have a nice name. Here in the Philippines, Samal is a beautiful island in the southern part of the country. Thank you for your entry, yes keep it simple is a good mantra. Life isn't complicated when you keep things simple. I'm a fan of minimalism, so this is also something I tell myself quite often. I have followed you and I will be seeing more from you in the future. Keep Steemin'!
Wow! Never knew a beautiful Island bears that name in Philippines.
Salamat @mermaidvampire.
Samal is located inear Davao City its an Island .
Thanks For Making Me Enter My First Contest

this is my entry
Thank you! It's an honor for me to host the first contest you joined in Steemit. Welcome to Steemit, I have followed you and I want to see your future blogs. I loev your mantra, indeed there is dichotomy in life... sad and happy, black and white, yes and no... and many others and we must know it just swings back and forth between the two. So we must accept and be ready for each for they are to happen to us sooner or later. But always, life is a choice, we can choose to be positive regardless if we are in the sad/dark phase or the happy/bright phase. Keep Steemin'! I'll see you around!
Thanks @mermaidvampire for this great opportunity. Good work. Keep at it

https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@glentoy/sharing-my-life-mantra
Thanks for joining, @glentoy! I followed you, and I would like to see more of your works. About your mantra that was deep. But if you must know, I am sick with a chronic illness and technically dying at a faster rate than most people but I do not fear the "end." I hope you can learn something from my life as we bump each other around Steemit. Endings are new beginnings. There will be sorrow with it but time will help you cope with these loses. Best of luck with the contest! :-)
I hope the best for you :) yeah, I have to accept that there is always an end. I just have to be prepared.
👍
Got it.

Thank you so much😘😘
The challenging contest may be a champion
Please join! No losers here, for sure. Everyone gets to take something from this contest. Spread the word. Thanks!
lifemantra. I don't have any idea to write about. In my life I never hold a trophy. Sometime one lie can make life more interesting than a thousand truth. Iron Man said that "A great man has a long stick." Maybe a long stick mean is a trophy. All the cop in the street are have their pistol. I think the broken cars are the trophy for them.
Hi @pidar! Thanks for dropping by. To join, you must make your own post and link it here. I never had trophies either but I have a lot of things I am so much grateful for, I think they are better than trophies... ;-) I'm pretty sure you have things better than trophies, too! See you around Steemit! I've followed you.

Thank you, @speedoflight! I'm glad you found my contest. Welcome to Steemit, you'll enjoy it here. Stay positive and let your light shine upon others. Nice name, by the way.
Nice contest. I like that it's centered around postivity. Well, here's my entry: https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@xpressng/my-one-liner-mantra-entry-a-contest-to-help-you-stay
Thank you for joining! I rarely believe in impossible so I love your mantra. Whenever I am lost, sad and helpless I just look up and pray and I tell myself I am his daughter and he died to have me saved. He gives me power against all kinds of pain. :-)
Good that you have initiated a contest, glad that there were already a handful #steemitachievers who are sharing their blessings through hosting contests like this and this is what I want to happen in #steemitachievers, helping and supporting each other.
Good luck and more power!
Thank you, boss @long888. Enjoy your trip! I am doing this because this is what I saw with you, guys. May we continue to have this spirit in our team #steemitachievers!
I love this contest it's motivating and inspiring!
Here is my entry.

Thank you! I love your mantra. Yes, we all are just a speck in the universe but we can make a difference, to make the world a better place no matter who we are, where we are! I believe that! Thanks for joining @salaujohnson. You've got me as a follower. I'll see you around Steemit!
Thanks so much, i will be glad if you will truly make me be a big steemian.
Thanks for sharing the contest with us
The pleasure is mine, @richgang! Thanks for the support. Please join and invite a fellow redfish to join, there won't be any losers in this contest. We have consolation prizes for non-winning entries, too!
I totally find this initiative interesting and very good! Thank you for this opportunity @mermaidvampire! I now have my entry.
https://steemit.com/lifemantra/@namranna/one-liner-life-mantra-my-life-verse
Girl, don't forget that you are amazing! I perfectly understand how you felt about college and the board exam and all that... estudyante blues as we call it in the old days. I have this mantra in my head for studies... "You don't have to like the subject, the teacher, heck you don't even have to like your classmates, you just have to pass it!" LOL Ahahahaha! That mantra got me through college and got my 2 degrees. I am glad you made it beyond the board exams despite the anxiety and the worrying. I'm pretty sure you have a lot to share regarding that episode of your life to the young dear ones in your family. Continue being a fighter... you will win at life!
Thank you @mermaidvampire! Indeed, we don't have to like it, we just have to learn it! Thank you for this contezt of yours ❤️ Aja in life! It's amazing to know you're already on your second degree! Wow! Congrats @mermaidvampire! More ppwer to you!
Thanks for this kabayan ☺ this is so uplifting ♥
Thank you! You should join. I'm sure you have a good mantra to share.
I'm currently drafting for one. Again thanks for this :)
